1955 Map of Mount Michelson C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range dominates this mid-century landscape of the North Slope, revealing a wilderness defined by water and high relief. The Sadlerochit Mountains rise sharply in the western half of the sheet, where Sadlerochit River and its tributaries like East Creek and Ledge Creek carve through the terrain. To the east, the broad course of the Hulahula River flows northward toward the coast, joined by the winding Akutoktak River. This survey, based on 1955 aerial photography, documents the region before modern infrastructure, showing prominent natural landmarks such as Kingak Hill and Kingak Cliff. The absence of roads or trails emphasizes the preservation of this tundra ecosystem, while the predetermined land lines from the Bureau of Land Management indicate the early stages of formal administrative mapping in this remote Arctic territory.
